Hökarängens gård, Historical farm in Farsta district, Stockholm, Sweden
Hökarängens gård is a farm in the Farsta district with several historic buildings from different periods. The complex includes a main house dating to the 1700s, a barn from the 1800s, and other structures arranged around the property near Lake Drevviken.
The site first appeared in records in 1672 as grazing land for Stockholm merchants. It later went by the name 'Krögareholmen' before eventually lending its name to the surrounding neighborhood.
The name comes from the peddlers known as 'hökar' who once grazed livestock here as part of their trade. The farm's layout and structures show how closely urban merchants and rural producers worked together.
The farm is accessible via a gravel road running parallel to Perstorpsvägen. Nearby Hökarängsbadet beach provides additional facilities for outdoor activities during your visit.
The property was originally called 'Krögareholmen' after an early owner, a detail many visitors overlook. This former name reveals an earlier chapter in the site's past that differs from its later identity.
